Development of a Renewable Hybrid Power Generation System

A renewable hybrid power generation system is proposed. The motivation for the system is that grid power is often unreliable, limited or even nonexistent remote/rural areas such as forward operating bases and schools and hospitals in developing countries. The challenge of this system is to provide a reliable, cost-effective power management system that is scalable and uses renewable energy sources. The proposed system integrates the operation cycles of a waste incineration generation system and an algae bio-fuel system to provide a high efficiency, low cost and scalable solution to the market. The projected net present value is conservatively estimated to be $7.52 million. This paper details the development of the systems design and business case proposal.
